[PATCH 1/2] vt: selection, push console lock down

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Feb 28 2020 - 06:54:10 EST


We need to nest the console lock in sel_lock, so we have to push it down
a bit. Fortunately, the callers of set_selection_* just lock the console
lock around the function call. So moving it down is easy.

In the next patch, we switch the order.
